St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-09-03

when he tells some of his old-time
stories. He can stretch his listeners all
out of shape.
p. b. Warner, with Salisbury, ROlph
q Co., sells mattresses and springs. He
is quite an old gentleman for such
arduous duties as devOlve upon a travel
ing man, but his moustache still wears
that dark hue for which it was noted in
the long ago. 1t is wonderful to what
perfection the barber has brought his
art. He reports very good trade in his
business.
Bob Fitzgerald, with Allen, Moon &
Co., comes to the front with his chicken
story. Bob is noted for his defective
memory, but in this case | don't think
it was very defective. He says he
actually killed 4S5 chickens in three
days and shipped them to the firm at
st. Paul. 1t may be like the two geese
he sent to one of the firm last year,
both of their wings were cut off short.
They were found to be domestic wild
geese that he had killed in some farm
er'S barn-yard.
H. f. Vessel, with Friend Brothers,
Milwaukee, is making towns on the
Northern Pacific this week and selling
lots of clothing. He has been on the
road for several years, and is very sue
ceSSful.
G. E. Pingree has moved his family
from MOOrhead to Fergus Falls and will
make that town his headquarters in the
future. George is great rustler and
works hard all the week, but when
Sunday comes around he likes to be in
the bosom of his family. He is great
home man and can take as much enjoy
ment there with his old merschaum as a
king on his throne.
L Il O.
Co., is making trip for Harry Gilbert.
His own territory is in Montana. He is
a very pleasant gentleman, jolly and
handsome. The great event of his life
will take place next Wednesday, when
he will lead to the altar one of MOntana's
faireSt daughters. He has the con-
gratulationS of host of friends, who
hope in the near future that in pursuit
of his calling his little Bills will grow
numerous.
w. G. Spottswood, with Janey,
Semple q Co., has just returned to his
home at Minneapolis after fOur-weeks'
trip up north. He reports business as
very good. He is very warm advocate
of the Travelling Mems Relief and In
demnity association, and believes that
all the fraternity should become mem
DerS and labor hard to make it grand
success, and he is right. 1t is a noble
object, the aiding of brother in sick
ness, or his family in case of death.
There should be no backSliding, every
one come to the front, pay your assess
mentS cheerfully, you can't tell how
soon you may need assistance yourself.
1t is ably managed by Mr.. Jordan. All
he needs is a little encouragement and
support to make it lasting benefit to
all.
Maj. Murphy, the veteran fur man, is
spending the week in st. Paul. He is
one of the oldest men on the road. His
SnoW-white hair gives him clerical ap-
pearance, and very frequently he IS
taken for a minister of the Gospel. A
good many people think he has missed
his calling, but the. major is happiest
when he is telling some of his tough old
yarns that happened in the days gone
by.
Joe Stolz, with the Dwight Saleratus
company, is going to make display of
his COW brand SaleratuS at the state fair
next week. He extends cordial invi-
tatlon to his brother travellers to make
him visit. Joe is very hard worker
and has been very successful. He is
one of the most popular men on the road.
Everybody knows him and are always
glad to meet him. He will have nice
cigar at his stand for all his customers
and the boys.
John Grace, with M. w. Kerwin & Co.,
Chicago, sells the celebrated Kentucky
whistles. John is great, big, good
natured fellow. He has spent a good
many years on the road and travels over
vast territory. He is spending the
week in st. Paul and intends to take in
the fair. "YNoT."
